I had put down a lot of bait all over the neighbourhood
In the empty lot next door, and across the street.
They seem to be feeding on the fallen fruit of the palm trees near to my house.
The fruit red and their poop is red too.

I put down bait all over the palm fruit and a lot died
Since then i had not seen much

They came out last night
Picked up about 2 dozen about ½" to 1" in size
Mostly in one area
I put some bait there too and found about 20 dead there this morning.

So the struggles begins again

There are two locations.
Curepe and Chase village.

Feed bags won't be accepted.

This whole thing going to end up being a stupid unaccountable scam with no proper results in what they think they want to achieve.

btw I last sprayed round the beginning of December. No snails have been around really maybe 2 at most I've seen. The rainfall is what makes spraying the Thiodicarb ineffective. With the place getting dry, it's working just as expected.
